BMW Concept CS - a landmark BMW concept

This is the very latest offering from Munich's design studios - and it points to a bold new design future post-flame surfacing. The landmark Concept CS show car is a luxury four-door GT primed to kickstart a new look for future BMWs.

The unveiling of the Concept CS marks a revolutionary shift for the marque. BMWs of late have had controversial styling, much to the distaste of many. But there's not even a hint of the awkward angles of the current 7-series or the lumpy, Mitsubishi Carisma-like rear of the 3-series here. The CS has a crisp, fresh look. This four-seater coupe looks attractive, particularly next to the current BMW range. The new form language, smoother surfaces and a dose of elegance work a treat; and the angled, shark-nose grille is striking to our eyes, evoking the first-gen 6-series among others.
